Breastfeeding Testimonials in The Villages, FL


I highly recommend any mom new or existing moms who are breastfeeding or looking to breastfeed to reach out to! Tenesha is an amazing mother & she also is an amazing lactation consultant. I breastfed my first born for 2 years with no problems & then with my second I had issues & it’s crazy that being pregnant with baby number 3 Tenesha finally helped me get answers why breastfeeding with my second child was probably not successful. She made me feel extremely confident going into this experience fore the 3rd time that this time would be just as amazing as the 1st time. Thank you again Tenesha you really know your stuff

When other healthcare professionals saw my newborn’s steady weight gain and dismissed her fussiness, discomfort, and feeding difficulties, Tenesha validated my concerns and got straight to work compiling a detailed care plan that has completely changed mine and my baby’s breastfeeding experience. She is an outstanding IBCLC who provides exceptional support and expertise and all from the comfort of my own home— an incredibly beneficial service for a newly postpartum mom navigating the changes and challenges of the fourth trimester! What I admired most about Tenesha was her holistic approach. She doesn’t hesitate to refer out to other services when needed, demonstrating her dedication to comprehensive care. Her professionalism, compassion, and expertise make her an invaluable resource for any breastfeeding journey. I can’t recommend Tenesha and Paradise Lactation Care enough!

Super helpful and knowledgeable. Very sweet and knows soo many tips and tricks to help make your pumping and nursing journey enjoyable and successful. We were able to find the correct flange size and she helped me understand how to better respond to my baby buddha. Also helped me understand how to properly massage and where the milkducts are located. I saw results and improvement overnight. Before our consult i was barely pumping 5 oz. This morning I got almost 8oz in a pump session.
